Triple word score

	The Official South African Scrabble Tournament Rules
		If the first word played on the board does not cover the center square, and the turn has ended (see 7.2 End of Turn), the opponent may challenge the word successfully off the board, regardless of the word's acceptability.
		The score for each turn is the sum of the letter values in each word formed or modified during the play, plus the additional points obtained from placing letters on premium squares.
		Have written their score for the move in the designated space on the scoresheet (again, the entire score for the move must be written; it is not necessary to compute or write the cumulative score for this rule to take effect).

	Rules of the game
		When a player challenges one or more words in his or her opponent's move, the clock is stopped while a referee looks up the challenged word(s) to determine whether the move is valid.
		If a word is formed that covers two premium word squares, the score should be doubled and re-doubled (that is, four times the letter count), or tripled or re-tripled (nine times the letter count).
		The score for each turn is the sum of the score values in each word formed or modified in play, plus the premium values resulting from placing letters on premium squares.

	Scrabbage (version 1.0)
		It is not necessary that that tile complete a word, however, if it does not, the player MUST be "working on a word," which is to say, there must be a legitimate word which the player can legally complete using the tiles in her hand.
		A tile played on a double or triple WORD square will double or triple the two points which would ordinarily be scored for a word, to four or six points, but only if the tile completes the word as it is played on the square.
		Score is kept on a standard cribbage pegboard, and as soon as one player reaches the end (121 points), that player is the winner.

	Insane SCRABBLE® Variation (Replace the tile(s) and more...)

		C on a double letter score and the whole word on a double word score.
		Also, when we are putting small words down that may be blocking possible double double word scores and the other person is working madly to try to fill that space, we defer to the person who will receive the higher score.

		The score for a word is obtained by summing the letter scores (including any doubling and tripling of letter values).
		The objective in a puzzle is to find a word that uses some of your letters and one of the letters already played to form the highest scoring word, including bonuses for double-letter, triple-letter, double-word and triple-word positions, and the 50 point bonus for using all seven letters.

	Official Tournament Rules (all in one file)
		If any word you challenge is judged unacceptable, the Word Judge labels the play "unacceptable." Your opponent returns the tiles played to her rack and then starts your clock, losing her turn and scoring zero.
		The new word must use at least one of the letters already on the board or must add a letter to a word or words on the board.
		When scoring a turn, all premiums from double or triple letter values, if any, are totaled before doubling or tripling the word score.

	Sept/Oct Gazette: Man of Letters
		The first player is rewarded for making a five-letter word, since the value of the first or last letter is doubled; but five-letter words are pretty difficult to find when you have just seven letters on your rack.
		The first player also benefits from a free double-word score, the star; but laying a tile on the star means the second player can reach a triple-word score, which is seven squares away.
		On the board’s second interior row or column, a five-letter word can hit a triple-letter-score square and a double-word-score square simultaneously, one of the juiciest spots on the board; use it, however, and you are likely to give your opponent access to a triple-word score.

		When you create a valid word you haven't used before, you'll receive a number of points, as well as some extra time.
		The number of points is the total value of the letters in the words (the value of each letter is printed on it's tile), except for when you have a special tiles in the word.
		So, when you create a word using a double-word-score-tile, it calculates the words value as if the double-word-score-tile was a regular persistent tile, and when it has done that, the value is doubled.

		After all these years, it's still hard to get a triple word score, the tiles are still made of wood, and there's only one "X" in the whole box.
		The first player makes a word from any or all of their letters and places it on the board, beginning, ending or crossing the central square, which automatically gives them a double word score.
		Obviously, scoring is much easier since you can build the crossword in a very open design - you aren't trying to block your opponents - but if you find that those opponents usually beat you, a bit of practice on your own might improve your chances of beating them in future.
